Enhancing the Abilities of Healthcare Sector Blogs
Enhancing the Abilities of Healthcare SectoreClinicalWorks is one of the leading healthcare software developers in the United States. It develops software for clinical activities at large hospitals, medium-sized clinics, and private practices. Close to one hundred thousand healthcare facilities across the globe use the company’s medical records systems. The eClinicalWorks integration solutions cover a diverse portfolio of clinical software, including laboratory testing and radiology platforms, medical devices, revenue cycle management solutions, practice management software, patient engagement systems, etc.
An eClinicalWorks EHR can be integrated with numerous other medical software platforms. The company’s solutions support multiple data formats and standards to facilitate data interchange between applications. The best part about using eClinicalWorks EMR systems is nationwide patient data access.
The company has unveiled its health information search engine called the PRISMA. It provides an aggregated view of patients’ medical records drawn from small clinics to large hospitals with EHR systems that are a part of the Carequality and CommonWell Health alliance networks. Moreover, this tool also provides patient data from insurance companies and wearable devices.
Radiology information systems (RIS) are software solutions for managing radiology departments. These can be used for scheduling scans, storing medical images, generating reports, and sharing them. eClinicalWorks integration solutions will exchange medical images and relevant data seamlessly if the RIS supports the HL7 messaging format. The results can be stored directly in the patient’s health record.
This integration makes it easy for providers to fetch the necessary reports about scans like MRI, CAT, and even X-rays. Providers can view them with a few clicks on their screen during consultations.
Testing laboratories are vital for most types of diagnoses. A laboratory information system (LIS) helps managers handle lab day-to-day operations. These include sample collection, scheduling tests, tracking samples, managing inventory, generating reports, etc. eClinical Works can support two-way messaging between any LIS platform compatible with the HL7 format of messages.
The data sent over by the RIS can be configured to be uploaded directly to the patient’s records. This helps doctors from any part of the country access it at any time for evaluation and diagnosis. Such integration also accelerates the organization’s information flow and optimizes clinical activities.
eClinicalWorks EHR usually tends to have e-prescription software incorporated in them. This enables doctors to send prescriptions directly over to the pharmacies electronically. Moreover, the doctors can also view the drugs covered by the patients’ health plans and prescribe one of them. This eliminates any chances of medication errors or prescription errors since the electronic format also solves the problem of the illegible handwriting of doctors. As an added benefit, this software also contains a module for prescribing controlled substances for certain patients who specifically need it.
For those eClinical Works EMRs without an electronic prescription solution built-in, eClinicalWorks API enables seamless data exchange for integration. These APIs allow the prescription solution to hassle-free exchange data with other platforms and EHR.
eClinical Works EMR or EHR is compatible to be integrated with several kinds of medical devices. This can include heart rate monitors, electrocardiographs, blood pressure cuffs, spirometers, etc. The readings from these devices are stored directly in the patient’s medical records. In addition to devices within the hospital or clinic, eClinical Works software can also integrate with remote health monitoring systems. These are wireless portable medical devices that patients can use outside the hospital.
Furthermore, eClinicalWorks integration also supports personal fitness devices and IoT-powered wearables. These data also get stored in EHRs, where providers can assess them for diagnoses.
A practice management solution enables providers to manage the day-to-day aspects of their practices. This includes managing appointments, charge capture, medical billing and coding, and payments management. eClinicalWorks integration allows custom healthcare software solutions integrated with practice management platforms.
e Clinical Works supports integrating several third-party applications into practice management solutions. These include anything from telehealth software to audit logs and so on. The integration can be carried out based on evolving requirements of the provider or the practice over time.
The availability of patients' medical data plays a big role in the quality of their care. Information like previous diagnoses, medication histories, immunizations, and allergies is important for doctors to make decisions. eClinicalWorks API-driven interoperability allows doctors to access patients' records from multiple sources nationwide for an aggregated view. This eventually leads to better clinical outcomes in the long run and lowers the chances of misdiagnoses.
Hospitals and clinics that leverage eClinicalWorks integration will be able to boost their productivity for both clinical and administrative activities. Fast and seamless access to the required data through integrated healthcare solutions accelerates workflows and lowers operational overhead. This allows doctors to serve more patients and also boosts patient loyalty. All of this goes on to improve the revenues for the organization in the long run.
Data stored in legacy systems often become siloed, posing problems for providers. Moreover, moving data from EHRs on-premises to those hosted from a cloud can also pose barriers. But e-Clinical works integration solutions can facilitate rapid data migration from legacy systems onto newer software and to cloud-based platforms in days instead of weeks. This not only helps with clinical activities but also with administrative ones.
